2x Teleconverter For Any Zuiko Digital Lens

The EC-20 Zuiko Digital 2x Teleconverter can be attached to any Zuiko Digital interchangeable lens, providing a highly mobile, cost-effective telescopic shooting solution. The ability to double* the focal length of the master lens using minimum equipment is very convenient in situations that involve a lot of traveling or large amounts of baggage, such as nature shooting tours, safaris, and other applications where telescopic lenses are frequently used.* When the teleconverter is used, the effective F-number of the lens is reduced by 2 steps.

Enables Super Wide-Angle Macro and Ultra-High-Magnification Shooting

The EC-20 also makes it possible for photographers to express themselves in new and innovative ways, creating dramatic new compositions that are possible only with Zuiko Digital cameras. By attaching the converter to a fisheye or macro lens, photographers will be able to take advantage of super wide-angle macro or ultra-high-magnification shooting. A ‘must’ for any photographer who wants maximum shooting flexibility at his fingertips.

Digital Specific Lens™

Zuiko Digital lenses are designed to focus light straight into an imager’s pixel wells, to fill every pixel consistently. It’s optical technology that delivers an image filled from center to edge with rich, accurate color, high contrast and subtle gradation. Designed exclusively for digital photography, Zuiko Digital lenses provide a level of precision that’s simply unattainable from a digital body using a traditional 35mm film lens. Although it is commonly believed that a 2x teleconverter degrades optical performance more than a 1.4x teleconverter, the Zuiko Digital EC-20 2x Teleconverter maintains original performance at a level that’s as good as or better than the EC-14, which has already gained a solid reputation for high picture quality.

Lightweight and Compact

Featuring 7 elements in 5 groups, with a layout optimized to minimize size, this teleconverter is only 1.6 inches (41 mm) thick. This compact design assures maximum portability and makes it easy for photographers to expand their shooting capabilities with minimal equipment and at minimal cost.

Reliable Dust-Proof/Drip-Proof Mechanism

To support photography in the extreme conditions often faced by professionals, the external finish is sealed at key points for maximum protection from dust and spray.
